From the Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School
We convey historical figures and events to children at the local, national, and international levels through storytelling, poems, photographs, and television. To help the kids understand the passing of time, we use their own experiences and surroundings. It is suggested for kids to use documentary evidence to deepen their knowledge and hone their historical skills. The local community and parents have a significant impact on the creation of tools and resources for this line of work. We encourage all students to participate in field trips that are pertinent to their studies. Students who have a top-notch history education will be better able to comprehend both the past of Britain and the rest of the world. It ought to pique students' interest in learning more about the past. Students should be taught how to think critically, evaluate arguments, assess facts, ask perceptive questions, and exercise perspective and judgement. Students learn about the complexity of people's lives, the evolution of society, the relationships between various groups, as well as their own identity and the problems facing their generation through studying history.
